Thought about it, snce it’s near New Year’s.

In my opinion, exercising/training/stretching atleast once a week would be a good thing for most people.

    I spent all of 2024 tracking my spending and saving. I didn’t “budget”, just had a spreadsheet and wrote everything down week over week.

    I would recommend it as a habit people may benefit from just to understand where their money goes.

    Checking up on your friends and asking how they are. It never hurts to be there for your friends when they’re having a bad day! ❤️

      I stopped doing this with some of my friends. They were always happy to hear from me, but the relationship felt one sided. Once I did, I found out I was right.

    Just go for a walk. Calling it exercise scares people into thinking about running, cycling or the gym but for the last month or two i just make it my mission to go for a long-ish walk once a day. Nothing strenuous, some days I walk a couple of kilometres to the nearest big supermarket to pick up some stuff, or i’ll get something delivered to a post locker thing or I’ll just go for a nice walk around the nearby park and bring my neglected camera with me to take pics of some birdies.

    You would be surprised how many calories it adds up to and how much better your well-being can get from some sunlight and fresh air.

      I’ve been trying to motivate myself to go out for walks more. I really enjoy hiking, but especially over the winter, the weather is always an easy excuse not to go out (I’m in the PNW, so winter means rain).

      I just bought some nice waterproof hiking shoes that will take away at least one excuse. I’d get wet feet using running shoes, and cleaning mud off was a pain too. Having the right equipment can make going out way more pleasant. (Also it can be exciting to try out new shoes or whatever it is)

    Waking up at the same time every day, no matter if it’s a weekend or a weekday and no matter if you stayed up too late and won’t be getting full 8 hours of sleep.

    As obvious as this might sound, this has really helped me to regulate my sleep schedule, something I’ve really been struggling with for pretty much my entire life.

    Learn stuff, don’t eat processed foods and get exercise - gardening and foraging are good places to start for most people. Stay far away from negative, manipulative and lying people.

    So many people don’t care about how their behaviors affect others. They are loud on the public transport, interrupt others when they talk, act like they are better because they got good looks, and a bunch of other things.

    I really think people would get along better if all of us were more down to earth and listening and relaxing.

    Be the opposite of what you see in reality shows.

    Just use a password manager, FFS it makes all of your online interactions safer.

    Once setup, it is easier than not using one.

        Yeah alcohol really sucks. It’s so embedded into society most people expect you to start drinking regularly as soon as you can. I think it’s getting better but still people are nowhere near as cautious about alcohol as they really should be it accounts for 10% of deaths worldwide, that is just mind boggling.

    Learning how to say no, how to do it politely and how to do it firmly. I’m better at the latter but being able to do either is a goddamn superpower, it’s incredible how many Americans cannot regardless of their situation, title, age, wealth, etc.

      I second this as a non-sporty person. I bought a couple of barbells (15kg apiece) for use at home and 20-30 minutes of just messing around with them daily has solved so many joint aches, it’s almost ridiculous…

    If I could offer you only one tip for the future…

    sunscreen…

    would be…

    it.

    The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists.

    Read books.

    Really anything, philosophy is great but some don’t have the patience for it.

    If it’s graphic novels or “kids” books, it’s all good. Spend a bit of time every day reading.

      Couldn’t agree more.

      Secondly, never ask for book recommendations on Lemmy or Reddit. You’ll just get a list of pretentious, wanky suggestions that people pretend to like

      The best fiction is sometimes just a trashy, edge-of-your-seat thriller

    Learn to eat healthy, in good portions, not too much, not too little and fast once in a while.

    It’s a pain when you’re younger but gets easier with age because you start losing or degrading your sense of taste (like all your other senses) anyway.

    If you get that habit early in life, you’ll keep it forever. And if you take care of your system early in life, your older self will thank you for it. Otherwise if you abuse yourself, and you do end up living a long life, you’ll be miserable for the last decade or two of your life and probably won’t know your name or where you’re from.
